Anyone who wants to know how to make a tutorial and deliver the most impact, just watch this channel, there is so many great ways to work this machine or anything else. No excess talking, love the fact that he just plays some notes and moves to the next, the best 13 minutes I spent of my life watching tutorial. Thank You Sir!
Thanks Synthdad, this is a useful tutorial for a beginner, but for the rest of us, it would be very useful to see you make a track from scratch with a few synths, and using the various modes (e.g. chord, harmonic) and record that to the sequencer/arranger :-). Is such a tutorial something you'd like to make? Also there is a new firmware coming...!
Hands down the best video tutorials about the Oxi One. I’ve watched them before and after buying one a week ago and they are helping me a lot. Great videos for an incredible product. Cheers!
Thank you so much for these videos. Oxi is coming out with a new firmware soon - looking forward to seeing you slamming that thing into Valhalla! Cheers mate!
how do i set the oxi to connect a 5din midi controller to play in the notes. Ive tried everything and no luck, im setting something wrong. using an akai mini + 5 din midi to the supplied oxi 5din adapter
Have you checked the MIDI In channel filtering setting in the Config menu? Make sure it's set to MIDI Channel so the sequencer is listening for notes on that channel. In other words if sequencer 1 is set to send on channel 1, it will also listen for notes on channel 1.
I'm clearly on a different firmware version, the second knob in my Sequencer Setup is the count in time not the midi out control. It was freaking me out for a minute.
Stay tuned, I’ve another Oxi One tutorial in the works. Don’t know if it walks to the Widi master, but I’ve had it talking over Bluetooth my my Mac and iPad with no issues
Thanks for the tutorial. Very helpful to get up to speed quickly! Such a great sequencer. When you attached the midi keyboard, does it just play the midi notes to the instrument based on the sequencer you have selected? Or do you set the midi channel that the keyboard will play? Also, can you record in the performance of the midi keyboard into the oxi?
Glad it helped! You can select so the MIDI keyboard either plays based on the sequencer or you can just forward the notes from the keyboard out of the Oxi One. And yes you can play on the keyboard and record notes into the sequencer.
Wish the demo didn’t have the digitakt as that is obviously gonna be guided by the interface and midi you have already setup. I’m stuck on getting my pic to directly trigger my JU-06 boutique
True but the Digitone was the only real synth I had to show that wasn’t modular. What are you trying with the JU06 and how do have the Oxi set up? Lots of variables so we need to eliminate them one by one
Multimode fehlt einfach das man nochmal in die einzelnen Tracks gehen kann und dann nochmal alle Noten auf dem ganzen Pad spielen kann ich hoffe sehr das wird noch implementiert?!
I'm an SQ-64 user and thought until now that I'd be getting more tracks if I get an Oxi-One but I guess not? Ideally I'd have 8 polyphonic tracks mapped to MIDI channels 1-8, and I rarely use drums at all so the monophonic multitrack mode's not that enticing for me.
The way to think of the Oxi One is not in terms of tracks, but sequencers. You got 4 sequencers which can be monophonic, polyphonic, chord, etc. For example the chord sequencer allows you to place chords and create progressions polyphonically, and then harmonise the other sequencers to that one. Also the Matriceal sequencer is actually 4 mono tracks in one sequencer. Finally the multitrack sequencer is for more than drums; it now supports piano-roll *per track* which means it is actually 8 monophonic tracks of sequencer for one sequencer. As you can see it’s a much more flexible way of thinking about sequencing than just tracks
Hi Pops! only thing i'm having problems with at the moment is sending clock (start/stop information) to the Oxi, i'm missing something ..probably being a bit numb?
So if I connect an external keyboard like you did in the video, I can play the sequences in the pitches played on the keyboard? How are the sequencer pitches matched?
Well it will record the MIDI notes into the sequencer from the keyboard. Then you can adjust the pitches in the sequencer afterwards by changing scale or semitone offset
Will the Oxi One work as polyphonic MIDI to CV converter? For example, can I connect a single keyboard with MIDI and hook up the 8 cv and gate outputs and play my modular live?
Hi synthdad! Question - can oxi set the patch on a connected device - say the Digitone or whatever? Got everything nicely hooked up and sequencing my midi notes and cv, but especially in a live setting, wonder how best to handle song changes? Ideally, I’d need oxi to set patch changes.
@@SynthDad Thank you just buy 2 off those, very nice. You notice watching the video for ideas. BTW this is the best tutorial for Oxi one users. Do you know if latest FW update function oke Or just keep the one before?
weird. ive got channel 4 mapped to a kit on midi channel 4 and its only triggering certain notes on my standard layout drum machine. (mc707) and not all. Why would that be?
Hello and thank you so much. You show how to hook up a USB MIDI Keyboard. I am wanting to use the 5-pin midi out on my keyboard in to the OXI via the Type A TRS cable that came with the OXI - I am using BLE in the OXI to connect to my MIDI Hub. When I connect this way the external keyboard works, but only triggers chords - not single notes...and they are 'scaled' as if driving the OXI in chord mode - but when I use the MIDI Master out on the 5-pin MIDI out of the keyboard, and therefore connected to the same MIDI Hub/same set-up and settings, the keyboard triggers individual notes as you would expect and want. I am unsure what I'm doing wrong. Any guidance you can offer? The OXI as you know can be configured as mono, poly, chords, etc...and it's keyboard when BLE'd to the hub will react correctly dependent on how the chosen sequencer is configured, so I don't understand why the MIDI Thru will only trigger chords. Reading the manual it says it echoes MIDI IN to MIDI OUT if activated - I was hoping to 'piggy back' off of the MIDI in of the OXI and BLE over to the hub to add improvisation over the sequence- I did read about the MIDI in channel filtering - perhaps this is the culprit as I looked and it is set to Ch & Note (Multi) - I need to try it and vary those settings I believe, to see if that effects the Thru...? Thank you!
Wow that is a complex setup and I'm not sure I can help you debug it without a lot more detail. The Oxi can definitely host a USB MIDI keyboard, but the question is what it the MIDI hub doing with the MIDI data it receives? What mode is the sequencer in on the Oxi One?
@@SynthDad I am humbled by your response - thank you! The MIDI IN Filter on the OXI (in the MIDI Menu)was indeed the culprit - when turned Off, the external keyboard connected via 5 pin MIDI to TRS In of OXI One, triggered single notes in scale (440) of the destination synth module...when turned to other settings (the MIDI IN Filter) the external keyboard triggers chords. I am not used to a filter on the MIDI input that does this on other devices...learning every day!!
Hi SynthDad, just waiting for my Oxi One to arrive so prepping myself in advance. I'll be using the Oxi to sequence my Circuit Tracks, just the drums - do you know if it'd be possible to send program change to the Circuit so I can change the sessions/kit, for example during a live performance? Thanks
The Oxi One can certainly send Program Change messages when a new pattern is loaded. I don’t know much about the Circuit Tracks so if it can accept PC messages then you are good to go!
Hi, thank you for your videos but, the most important thing when learning something new is keystrokes and, where’s the detail on how to select the chord that you want on a step. Keystrokes slowly please. Because the chord name flashes up but it disappears, so far I’m not finding it the most intuitive gui. I want to press a step and change the note, chord,etc, how do I do that? The manual is impossible to read for anyone over 50😂
I'll try to slow down in future videos (there's usually a lot to get through and I end up discarding most of it). I know the latest 3.5.x firmware has added improvements in the chord mode
Please help, oh great Synth Dad. I can't seem to get anything out of my OXI. I have it connected to my Dreadbox Synth via 5pin mid (using TRS to midi adapter provided by oxi), and I am getting no sound. I have Oxi Split Selection disabled. I have my dreadbox on channel 1, the oxi track on 1a. I get no sound when I have a random sequence plugged in, nor any sound when I use keyboard mode. It's not the cable,; when I plug the dreadbox into my arturia keystep I get all the sounds. I'm so frustrated, please help!
Hmm that's tricky. It sounds like you're doing all the right things. Is the Dreadbox sensitive to velocity on MIDI notes - try increasing the velocity on the track. The only other thing could be the TRS to MIDI DIN adapter perhaps? You could join the Oxi Discord and ask there too
At 4:07, you were putting in a kick drum pattern. Did something no go as expected or was there something that needed to be done to take the notes you were keying in? Great tutorials. Thank you.
Ok let's break this down step-by-step. First of all what MIDI channel is each track on the Digitone configured to? For example, track 1 is MIDI channel 1, track 2 MIDI channel 2. Then what cable are you using between the Oxi One and Digitone? Do you have MIDI in enabled over DIN MIDI in the MIDI settings in the Digitone? Do you have MIDI out enabled in the config settings on the Oxi One? What channel have you set a sequencer to on the Oxi One? Go to that sequencer and go into keyboard mode and press a key - does the Digitone make a sound? Does it make a sound when you press a step key on the Digitone itself? Lots of steps you can do to debug this issue
@@SynthDad thank you very much for this thoughtful response! I'm trying to run the trs midi to din midi into the digitone. I'll take these steps you've suggested and get back to ya. .. thing is, I'm trying to get through nursing school and still work at the same time, so who knows when that will be. 😀
I don't own the Novation so can't compare them. It does seem like a very powerful controller for a DAW and external synths. The Oxi One has more generative capability, and many more CV/gate connections for modular.
@@SynthDad i dont't understand. how can i control 48 poly synths if the the oxi one only has 4 sequencer tracks. care to explain? i am seaching for a hardware sequencer to use in live performances. having 8 polysynths in my setup (that i am sequencing currently with a roland mc-707) makes) makes me need more than 4 midi tracks.
@@hugocaldeiravinagre Sure - each of those 4 tracks are actually sequencers which can be polyphonic. In multipart mode each sequencer breaks out into 8 tracks, each of which can be mapped to a different MIDI channel to send notes. So that gives you 4x8 = 32 individual MIDI channels. But how are these sent? The Oxi Split adapter connects to the MIDI port and breaks the single MIDI output on the Oxi One into 3 DIN ports - A, B and C. On the Oxi One you can map a track to a MIDI channel in one of those 3 banks.
@@SynthDad Thanks for the info. i have been checking the manual and for what i understand, in multimode the 8 tracks of each sequencer are monophonic, right ?
Hmm, no idea what’s going on. TH-cam still says it’s processing the Hi-Def version, but it’s been over 3 hours now. Shouldn’t take that long. Apologies - I know this is frustrating when you can’t see the video clearly
your videos are very good thank you, but please spend less time on randomize...almost all of your videos spend too much time on randomize. many of us are trying to learn the unit, the randomize is the onec thing that is fairly self explanitory. yes its cool, but time would be better spent helping us learn to use the device. im confused on the grid layout. what are the note names on the bottom no videos seem to mention them. also ive been unable to get abeltons drum kits to play the drums on the oxi. no disrespect meant i enjoy the videos
Are you trying to sequence Ableton's kits from the Oxi One over MIDI? How have you connected the two? You need to set the correct MIDI channel and note number in the kits on the Oxi One sequencer. I don't know how to configure Ableton as I don't use it, but I'm sure there are plenty of tutorials on it out there
ive set up the channels, but the drum sounds arent playing on the proper pads, just random it seems a clap on bottom track a HH on track 2. i cant find the pad that triggers a snare. I just trs midi it to my korg electribe and made sure the channels are communicating and same issue, i cant find the drum sounds on the oxi pads. unfortunately there are Not a lot of videos describing connections and setup. most videos just show off the generative features. I think $800 for a generative device is a bit much, i need to figure out the sequencer. i have lots of hardware and so far in my 5 days with the oxi ive had little success, the manual is not indepth enough and most videos show modualr use and the random generative. there is no walkthrough video, i was shocked because there are lots of videos but they all say very little. hopefully ill figure it out, or return it haha. thank you for responding though@@SynthDad
i tried hooking my oxi one to my vocal sample2 like you did and again my drums arent aligned to the pads as yours are. ive done a factory reset in case i changed a setting...same thing. not sure what im doing wrong. ive watched this video at least 6 times lol
@@SvenFx-22 So the basic things to check are a) did you set the correct MIDI channels on the Oxi One to correspond to the Volca and b) are you sending the correct notes from the Oxi to the Volca to trigger the drums. Did you check what MIDI channel your Volca is on?

@@SvenFx-22 So the basic things to check are a) did you set the correct MIDI channels on the Oxi One to correspond to the Volca and b) are you sending the correct notes from the Oxi to the Volca to trigger the drums. Did you check what MIDI channel your Volca is on?
im getting confused on properly setting up all the midis on the oxi i suppose. thank you @@SynthDad
